This Holy Day

This snow-covered hills are ready For the two-horse sleigh to come While the house glitters upon the darkness As the smoke floats from the chimney Everyone is here waiting for ol' St. Nick to arrive The children have made their lists And they said their prayers Hoping they were good enough Not to get a piece of coal in their stockings And the eggnog flows as the grow-ups dance The night away In the churches, the midnight services Celebrate Chirst's birth Desiring he will return to save the world And be guiding light to peace With no one being killed on this Holy Day
